Two-year-old Carnell Williams-Thomas was struck by a stray bullet and killed while playing with a scooter outside his home in the Goulds neighborhood of southwest Miami-Dade on December 15, 2017. His mother, Dorthy Williams, was nearby and heard the gunshot; she rushed to him but he succumbed to his injuries. Carnell’s death was one of 93 homicides in Miami-Dade County that year.

The Miami-Dade Police Department carried out door-to-door canvassing and public appeals but has not apprehended the shooter. A reward for information leading to an arrest has grown to $37,000. Carnell’s family has organized annual events such as toy drives to honor his memory and has appealed for the person responsible to come forward; his mother has said she forgives the shooter but wants answers.

Does anyone in Goulds or the surrounding area remember details from that night or have information that could help bring Carnell’s killer to justice?
